Press TV: What do you make of the numbers that are coming in, the narrowing of the gap between the yes and no camps?
Gosling: Well, it's certainly exciting isn't it? It's getting towards a bit of a knife edge decision here.
The Scots are a very independent-minded nation and one thing's for sure they are perfectly able to run their own affairs.
If you go back thousands of years to the Roman occupation, although the Romans occupied Britain for 300 years they never ever controlled Scotland. The Scots were absolutely adamant in keeping the Romans out and they did that for 300 years if you can believe that. They tried and failed to subdue Scottish clans so there is a very strong independent-mindedness amongst the Scots.
But to get on to the serious issues, the things that people will be deciding to vote on is largely the way -- the rather insulting way -- that the London government the Westminster government has used Scotland for the rather nasty Faslane nuclear base.
Britain and the US's Trident nuclear missile submarines are based up in Scotland. Although it's good for employment they don't like all the dangers that come with that. The nuclear menace and also the disaster of the Dounreay nuclear power station, which is still a nuclear waste mess up there.
So, a lot of Scots see the London government as sort of 'taking the mickey' really, using them as a nuclear scrapyard.
The thing is with the vote, when they come to do the vote, there's actually a limited amount of independence that the Scots will have because they're still going to be bound by Brussels and the EU.
So, quite a few people will be thinking about the lesser of two evils. Is it Westminster or is it Brussels that we're going to be run by? 
Press TV: Speaking of Westminster we have seen a concerted campaign run by the British government to get voters in Scotland to say no to this independence referendum.
However, how do you see this paying out even if the majority of Scots do ask for independence, do you think Westminster are going to take it sitting down?
Gosling: They certainly aren't going to take it sitting down, but most of the reasons that the Cameron government has come up with have been scare tactics -- nothing really much to them.
They're trying to frighten the Scots saying, well, you're going to on your own without us, but really the whole of Scotland and Europe is controlled by the EU still. We mustn't forget that.
There's a trans-Atlantic elite, which is big bankers, oil companies, media barons that span the Atlantic.
And there's sort of an illusion out there that the EU and the US are somehow separate. Actually, the big corporations, the big banking cartels run the EU and the United States.
And so I see what's going on actually is a wave of secession away from what we call the Bilderberg, NATO -- Bilderberg is the political arm of NATO -- their influence in the West. And there are quite a lot of people like the Scots who are wanting to secede from that.
We've seen Catalonia in Spain trying to get away from the Spanish government just like the Scots are doing with London; we've seen the Venetians in Italy saying we actually want to reject the rule by Rome; and also of course more recently in Ukraine -- the eastern Ukrainian many of those states saying we don't want to be ruled by the EU/Western-dominated Kiev.
So it will be fascinating to see how this plays out in Scotland later on this year.
